Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SPREADERFLEX REEL cables suitable for vertical reeling applications?
The cables feature a specialized construction with central aramid support elements that significantly increase tensile strength. The very finely stranded copper conductors (Class FS) and layered construction (maximum 3 layers) provide exceptional flexibility while maintaining electrical integrity under extreme mechanical stress conditions typical in vertical reeling operations.
What is the maximum vertical reeling speed supported?
Standard certification covers vertical reeling speeds up to 240 meters per minute. For applications requiring higher speeds, consultation with our technical engineering team is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance. Each application may require specific validation based on load conditions and environmental factors.
How do these cables perform in maritime environments?
The cables are specifically engineered for maritime applications with seawater resistance, UV resistance, and ozone resistance built into the PROTOFIRM special compound sheathing system. The polychloroprene (PCP) material exceeds 5GM5 grade specifications, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh marine conditions including salt spray and temperature variations.
What fiber optic options are available for data transmission?
Three fiber types are available: G62.5/125μm and G50/125μm multi-mode graded index fibers for shorter distance, high-bandwidth applications, and E9/125μm single-mode graded index fiber for long-distance, high-precision data transmission. All fibers maintain low attenuation characteristics suitable for industrial communication systems.
What are the flame retardancy characteristics?
The cables comply with DIN EN 60332-1-2 / IEC 60332-1-2 flame retardancy standards, ensuring safe operation in industrial environments. The materials are formulated to limit flame propagation while maintaining structural integrity during fire exposure, meeting international safety requirements for critical infrastructure applications.
How should installation bending radius requirements be calculated?
Bending radius calculations follow VDE 0298-3 standards: 4×D for fixed installations, 5×D for flexible operations, and 20×D minimum distance for S-type directional changes. Where D represents the cable outer diameter. Proper radius calculation is crucial for maintaining cable performance and longevity in demanding reeling applications.
